Red Wings set to announce new stadium name

Posted

The Red Wings will be playing in a new stadium by the 2017-18 season.

The Ilitches are planning on the District Detroit's centerpiece to be the 'baddest' hockey arena in sports.

WXYZ has learned Olympia Entertainment applied for the trademarks, "The Baddest Bowl" and "The Baddest Bowl in Hockey." The company received approval last year.

The Detroit Free Press was first to report the news.

On Tuesday, Chris Ilitch told reporters at a Crain's Detroit event the team will announce the name of the new hockey arena within the "next month or two."

Ilitch said the Red Wings have a deal in place for the naming rights.
